Universal Pre-K is open to any Berkeley County pre-school age child who is four-years old on Sept. 1 of that school year. Winchester Avenue School was the first school in Berkeley County to house a Universal Pre-K classroom. Universal Pre-K classrooms are also located at Back Creek Valley, Burke Street, Hedgesville, Marlowe, Opequon and Tuscarora Elementary schools and in several Child Care Centers. These programs, in collaboration with the Headstart and Pre-K special needs programs of Berkeley County, were evaluated earlier this school year by the state of West Virginia and were approved for 'Universal' status.

Michelle Martin, director of Pre-K programs in Berkeley County, and Dean Warrenfeltz, principal of Winchester Avenue School were also available to discuss the Pre-K program with the congresswoman and congressional field representative, Chris Strovel.
